MIII JAFFA: Hi Miri, how are you doing these days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M.S: Personally, I’m fine. I’m worried about the economic collapse that so many workers are experiencing, wondering what will happen to the cultural field and the new anti-democratic means that have entered our lives to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIII JAFFA: Tell us something about the work from the collection we see here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M.S: It’s a work from 2002, it’s made up of two identical sculptures or objects-made-ready to use. The sculptures are urinals that are designed for female urination while standing, by attaching them to the body. They are based on a smaller model of Duchamp’s famous urinal adapted to female urination. In addition to the sculptures, there is an “instruction” video projected on a tiny screen, where you see me using one of the sculptures and peeing through it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIII JAFFA: Did you experience it differently in these days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M.S: Honestly, I don\u2019t, it’s a work from almost twenty years ago and I couldn’t think of it in the Corona context, but it’s related to other works I’ve been working on recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIII JAFFA: What are you working on right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M.S: I am working on several works, some physical and some virtual. Regarding the work from the collection \u2013 \u201cMade-Ready\u201d, recently, during the Corona, I worked on a few adaptive reenactments of iconic works of art for the Zoom platform. One of them was Dan Graham’s \u201cPerformer \/ Audience \/ Mirror\u201d. My work is called \u201cUp-Close\u201d. I was interested in reproducing Graham’s work on Zoom;  It is easy to recreate a situation on Zoom that is very similar to the original performance, but, on the other hand, Graham\u2019s gaze makes the viewer a subject and a participant through eye contact, this component is absent in Zoom, and I think characterizes the new time we are in – a kind of a panopticon where everyone sees, but the possibility of having direct eye contact is gradually disappearing.
Currently, my work \u201cNecrofleur\u201d from 2003 is exhibited at Dvir Gallery, it is also a tribute to Duchamp’s “Fountain”, but this tribute goes through Bruce Nauman’s photography – “Self Portrait as a Fountain” (1966). This work is displayed at Dvir Gallery alongside a text work that is drawn on the gallery space \u201cLast Lust\u201d (2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIII JAFFA: Thoughts on the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M.S: The subject of the future, where we are going as a society, concerns me very much. I hope to be able to put my thoughts and feelings about it in my following works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
